On their sixth album, Bloc Party sound as vital and vibrant as on 2005's Silent Alarm, back during the "indie sleaze" era. Their latest is also as fun and high energy as that influential debut; if this were a person, you'd be suspicious they'd had cosmetic work done. The band continues to find inspiration in New Wave and art-school punk as singer Kele Okereke's big personality-that London accent as distinct as ever-tries on different guises. You can feel the angst as he rushes the verses of "Day Drinker," its sharp, crisp drums egging on the adrenaline release. Excellent single "Traps" layers edgy, nervous guitar and shotgun drums as the singer walks the line between louche and letch: "Cute like Bambi/ But you're headed to a trap ... I wanna be your education/ I wanna be your contact high." Okereke gets playful on the otherwise ominous "Callum is a Snake," decorated with hissing and a shout of "SNAKE!" at the end. Sometimes it means dipping into unexpected pockets. There's an early '80s giddiness, à la Fun Boy Three or Altered Images, to "You Should Know the Truth," complete with sunny guitar, group backing vocals and exaggerated sighs. And the whole band leans into the high-drama theatricality of ABC on "Sex Magik"-remembering a teenage summer fling that made a deep impression, with Okereke intoning "Earth-earth, air-air, fire-fire, water-water" like a hypnotic mantra-and "Of Things Yet to Come." That one drips with rococo flourishes from Okereke and guitarist Russell Lissack (they remain the only original members). "The Girls are Fighting," meanwhile, adopts a soccer-chant vibe and screeching metal guitar solo to tell the story of a bar brawl: "It's a riot at Inferno's/ The filth are on their way ... The bouncer's made a movie/ Upload it to WorldStar (Scrag fight!)." "By Any Means Necessary" is funky and slinky, and irresistible "If We Get Caught" sports confident show-off snare and an angelic chorus. For jazzy-bass closer "The Peace Offering," Okereke goes deep-truly, he expands his vocal range-and dives into a spoken-word, beatnik hep-cat mood. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz

Battle Beast - Circus Of Doom (Deluxe Edition) (2022) 44.1-24
Country: Finland

After re-signing to Nuclear Blast in early 2021, the Finnish heavy metal sextet BATTLE BEAST are once again getting ready to unleash their force upon the world in the shape of their brand new masterpiece »Circus of Doom«. The album is set to be released on January 21st 2022 via Nuclear Blast and in true BATTLE BEAST fashion, the 10 tracks blend true heavy metal with pop and rock-vibes, paired with Noora Louhimo's unique voice. "Our goal was to make an interesting and absorbing album, with both lighter party songs and heavier stuff as well. In a way the whole album is like a joyful day at the circus. Full of enchanting surprises and wild carnival atmosphere", explains keyboardist Janne Bjorkroth.

"Battle Beast do their best balancing act on Circus Of Doom. As much as the album offers an escape from the circus of doom our day to day lives are consumed with currently, their tales of fantastical worlds and journeys hit closer to home than you might think. Master Of Illusion tells the tale of a self-centred, narrow-minded human being, whilst Where Angels Fear To Fly sings of those who've made the world a better place. In many ways, Circus Of Doom is a moral compass holding up a mirror to the choices we're making as a global community, from bumbling politicians to forward-thinking activists. Considering the album begins with its darker tales, and ends on more positive notes, it's no surprise its messaging feels like a Disney movie. Battle Beast have long gone under the radar against power metal's masters. On Circus Of Doom, they step out of the shadows and announce their long-awaited arrival as heirs to the throne.)

Kirk Hammett (Metallica) - Portals (EP) (2022) [FLAC]
Country: USA
Genre: Instrumental,Prog Rock,Prog Metal
Format: FLAC (*tracks)
Quality: Lossless [44,1kHz/16 bit]

Full Size: 182.14 MB


Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has released the Portals EP - his debut solo release.

The instrumental four-song offering marks the first time a core member of Metallica has pursued a solo project while remaining in the band. Hammett recently told Rolling Stone that he was "shocked" he got the band's blessing to release the EP, alluding to the conflict that partially led to the exit of former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted.

Hammett even worked with personnel close to the Metallica camp, including Edwin Outwater - the conductor of the S&M2 concerts - and veteran producer Bob Rock. That said, the music on Portals is a far cry from the thrash metal of Hammett's full-time gig.
Hammett indulges his prog and classic tendencies on the four songs. He also draws from a vast well of guitar riffs, some that sound like unused Metallica licks. From the cinematic sweep of "High Plains Drifter" to the Euro power metal overtones of "The Incantation," Kirk essentially ignores genre convention, crafting a compact and varied debut release.

Sydney alt-pop artist Charlie Collins has released the follow-up to her AIR Award-winning (and ARIA-nominated) debut album 'Snowpine'

Collins began writing for the album more than two years ago "in the wake of her separation", and eventually scrapped the first completed version of it as she "began to rediscover her wildness, spontaneity and freedom". Collins herself says that 'Undone' will "expose a lot of who I am and what I was going through [in that process]".

The album saw Collins experimenting with co-writes for the first time, linking up with local songwriter Xavier Dunn (Jack River, GRAACE, Sarah Wolfe), Japanese Wallpaper and Jarryd James. All three also aided Collins in producing the record, with the artist also enlisting Scott Horscroft (Middle Kids, Polish Club) and Joji Malani (ex-Gang Of Youths) to produce additional tracks.

Is Miranda Lambert our last great female country star? Since her 2001 self-titled debut, she has stayed true-blue to the genre, never veering into crossover territory. Partial credit goes to her beaut of an East Texas twang, which she doesn't try to flatten into something it's not. On her ninth studio album, Lambert plays around with rock 'n' roll and blues, but it's also so country. "I'm out in the Mojave, call me Ricky, call me Bobby," she dares on the muscular "Actin' Up," like a modern-day Jerry Reed. "Call me hotter than wasabi/ Cause I'm actin' up." Three of these songs were first heard on The Marfa Tapes, her acoustic, raw-to-the-bone 2021 collaboration with singer-songwriters Jon Randall and Jack Ingram. "In His Arms" gets a richer, rounder studio treatment, and "Waxahachie" is filled out with cool '80s guitar. "Geraldene" is even more of a hoot, alive with juke-joint fire and Keith Richards-style guitar. Outlaw fun in the tradition of Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough," it finds Lambert confidently stuttering the title as she delivers devastating couplets: "I could see you coming all the way from Amarillo/ Truck stop red lips pullin' on some nicotine/ Shining like the spoke on a brand new El Dorado/ You're trailer park pretty, but you're never gonna be Jolene." The singer also pulls out an unexpected, faithful cover of Mick Jagger's "Wandering Spirit," turning the rockabilly flair up to 11. "Strange" is an instant classic vibrant with Fleetwood Mac vibes, while "Country Money" has a cool '70s AOR feel-complete with Joe Walsh-esque guitar-and a winking storyline about getting rich without getting fancy: "Connie Johnson got a farm in Wisconsin and a diesel in the drive . and the best beef in the cheese state, baby"; "Carol Jean, she's the chicken-egg queen ... drives her hens around town in a Coupe de Ville." There's a Gene Autry lope to "If I Was a Cowboy," along with a modern-day attitude: "So mamas, if your daughters grow up to be cowboys, so what?" "Carousel" is an acoustic stunner with a tender music-box melody and a storyline full of rich symbolism-about "pretty Elena," who has a secret past life, her heart having been broken by a big-top man. "She walked the high wire back in the '80s . hanging from the top tent rafters 'til the spotlight disappeared. The way he earned her trust was on a 20-foot trapeze/ She fell so hard because he always let her fly/ 'Til he left her heart suspended in a cotton-candy sky." And "Music City Queen" might not hold up for a future "Best Of" record, but it's fun right now. Swirling in swamp-blues guitar, it features the B-52's on backing vocals-including Fred Schneider doing a kitsch call-and-response-and witty lines (about a river boat!) like "She's had the same red carpet since '79 and she was 'ah, ah, stayin' alive.'" But this is not Lambert going pop; it's the B-52's bending to her will. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
